The Fran out of

Frantastic Pets

Hi there! My name is Frances, the Founder and Managing Director of Frantasic Pets. Thanks for visiting the website and for showing an interest in my business.

On this page you can learn a bit more about me and my background as well as my ethos when it comes to pet services.

It all started when my partner and I got hooked watching a new reality TV series called ‘Pooch Perfect’ on the BBC. I absolutely love dogs (we have 3 of our own) and dog grooming looked like something I would really relish doing. So, after enduring the multitude of Covid lock-downs, I decided to bite the bullet and quit my long standing career as a primary school teacher in order to do something completely different and follow my dreams. Little did I know that a couple of years later I’d end up being trained by the winner of that same reality TV series, which had originally inspired me. Now I’m a Level 3 City & Guilds qualified dog groomer with my own business.

My Mission

At Frantastic Pets my aim is for every dog that comes into my salon to feel at ease, calm and happy. I want them to enjoy their groom and return to their Mummies and Daddies feeling fully pampered and relaxed.

I’d love to think that every dog could feel excited when they hear that they’re going to the “groomers”, because they should feel safe in knowing that they are going somewhere where they will be loved and cared for all the while they are with me.

This may mean that a dog’s time in the salon will vary. That’s because I want my four-legged friend to feel as comfortable as they can be during their time spent in my care.

I’m also very sustainably focussed, which is why I’ve opted to used products that come from suppliers with the same sustainability ethos as me. See my Blog page for more info on this.
